"…."
"Don't look at me like that, Dean. You gotta drink it."
A beat. A shuffle. A pained huff.
"What's exactly in this?"
"You know better than to ask."
"Sammy…"
"Dean, I swear to god, if you don't drink this, I'll throw you back in the pit with the demon zombie rabbit plant and I'll let it rip you to shreds."
Beat.
"That's really excessive."
"Don't. Don't do that. I'm not a woman, your eyes don't work on me. It's weird."
"God, it smells like the armpit of hell! I can't, Sam. I can't. Just, get me a Band-Aid and a shot of whiskey or something."
"You've got a ten inch gash that's growing fur. I don't think band-aids are gonna do the trick."
A g-g-groan.
"You fight demons on a regular basis, you honestly can't just take a shot of medicine? Seriously, Dean."
"That ain't medicine! That's satans vomit! I caaaan't!"
Beat.
Footsteps pacing.
"Do you want to become a zombie rabbit?"
"No."
"Drink it."
A heavy pained sigh. A whimper. A slight splash.
A beat.
Another beat.
"Dean!"
"Fine! I'm going! I'm doing it!"
A series of muffled gags and curses and breaking glass.
"Fucking…hell…"
"Do you need a hug?"
"Fuck you."
"Fine, than hold still so I can stitch this up."
A pained yelp.
Strained silence.
The sound of thread working through a wound.
A sigh.
"There. Done. The fur's supposed to just…fall out. Hopefully. You'll be fine."
"That's it? No chanting or spells or goat sacrifices? Seems too easy."
"Oh no, I already did all that. You were busy puking and spasming."
"….Oh. Shit."
"Yeah… Anyway. We'll know if it worked in about an hour."
Another sigh. And a chuckle.
"Did you have to sacrifice a goat?"
"Nah but I did have to use a fresh bunny heart. Which reminds me, if the housekeeper complains that her daughter's pet rabbit is gone…"
"Sam! You didn't!"
"I was running out of options. Don't look at me like that."
"You're a monster."
"You hate rabbits!"
"Look, you're getting all embarrassed…"
"I'm paying her back for the rabbit! I didn't have any other options!"
Beat.
Another chuckle.
"Thanks Sammy…"
"Anytime, Dean."
